Second-home rules vary by investor and change without notice. Not a guarantee of approval.
Mislabeling occupancy is one of the fastest ways to stall a Non-QM file.
Ryan & Steve confirm occupancy early, then match your deposit history to investors that allow second homes on bank statement income.
We size down payment and reserves against both housing payments so the pre-approval letter reflects a realistic second-home scenario — not a primary LTV you cannot use.
If rental income is the real story, we compare bank statement investment options with DSCR so you pick the cleaner path.

Yes — many Non-QM bank statement programs allow second-home purchases when you meet occupancy rules, typically with more equity than a primary residence. Guidelines vary by investor.
Generally a property you occupy part of the year for personal use — not rented full-time as an investment. Underwriters look for reasonable distance, exclusive control, and no long-term rental intent.
Often 15–25%+ depending on credit, reserves, and investor. Second-home LTVs are usually tighter than primary bank statement purchases.
Yes. Income still comes from 12–24 months of eligible personal or business deposits — tax returns are not the income path. You also need to support both housing payments and reserves.
Ryan & Steve will confirm occupancy, size your deposit income, and match a bank statement investor before you write the offer.
